Vegetable Growth of southern California

Vegetable Growth of Southern California.
1t was very difficult for me, when first

Of the growth of vegetation, until began
to reflect that these valleys are alluvial

an almost endless sunshine and quick

of 128. There have been many eucalyptus
forests planted here within the last ten
years, which are yielding a handsome
profit to the owners. The trees are cut off
anywhere from ten to twenty feet above

another growth. 1t seems to be habit

Diferent Processes of treating Ores

The trouble with nine-tenths of the fail
ures in mining is not the lack of ore or its
poor quality, but its character. That is
where the great mistake is made. Ore
has to be treated to so many and to so
greatly different processes. An inexperi-
enced miner, such as most of the investors
are, does little developing, gets a few
pieces of ore, takes them to some one who
is alleged to know something about it, and
is told that that the ore is free milling. He
puts up million that basis, and when he
comes to work 1t he finds his ore is not free
milling, and that his mill is totally unfit
for the work for which it was intended
Then tearing down and building up, over
and over again, begins, to suit the mill and
the process to the ore, and finally the whole
enterprise is dropped, the investor being
disguised and crippled by his losses.
One thing should always be kept in
mind-ore differs as much as night and
day. Within three feet you may find free
milling ore and the hardest and most
stubborn ore to treat You may have
some next to wall that viii respond
easily to your process, and next to it may
be piece that you can not possibly mas
ter. The only thing to do is to have a
mill to suit your ore as nearly as possible.
and then sort the ore piece by piece, send
ing part of it to mill and part to the
smelter. If that one plain was kept stead
lily in view there would be a great many
more successes than there are.-MininQ

HOW spontaneous combust,on occ,


An insurance man, in speaking of mys-
terious fires, says that many can be at
tributed to natural agencies. Said he:
"Linseed oil and cotton are liable at any
time to produce spontaneous combustion.
Especially is this true when the cotton is
tightly wadded, as 1t generally is when
used in rubbing and polishing furniture
A great many mysterious fires may be
traced to this cause. Workmen use
wad of cotton or cotton rags in rubbing oil
on furniture, and when they get through
they throw it into rubbish heap in some
corner, and the building is locked up The
heat that is generated by the contact of
the cotton and oil produces spontaneous
combustion, and the rubbish Catches fire.
The losers attribute it to incendiarism.
when the origin of the fire might be easily
traced directly to this chemical phenom-
enon.-Atlanta Constitution.

Night In a City Hospital.

. noSpAtaAs
went the other night to see an old
friend who was dying in one of our great
hospitals. His messenger came to NE
late, and midnight was at hand when we
rang the bell in the black cavern of
doorway-a bell with deep, seriousi one,
that sounded most appropriately like
knel. The deserted corridors were lighted
with thin flames of gas, that fiickered as
if afraid of the shadows, and the echoes of
the tiled floors were startlingly intense
under our hurrying feet. In dark corner
of every floor a watchman sat, wakeful
and as silent as phantom. Through a
closed door as we passed came muffied
cry, but otherwise no human noise
troubled our progress, save those created
by ourselves. Well up toward the roof
my guide opened door, and we were in
one of the common wards, at the further
end of which was the private room Of the
man we were visiting. The lights were
down, and wandering moonbeams fecked
the floor through the long, latticed shut
tiers of the tall windows. On either hand
the row of cots went down the walls. The
room we5 50 lofty that its dim ceiling was
scarcely visible in the subdued light, and
SO spacious that the vast, polished floor
was like black pool into which we had
to wade at unknown depths.
The moment the door opened, stimuli
taneous movement, like shudder, ran
through the lines of cots Every man in
them had been reused from his light sleep
by our almost noiseless entrance, and in
the vague gloom we went as softly as we
could between two lines of burning eyes.
There was no sound, no breath nor sigh,
though there were cruelty mangled and
tortured bodies all around us. Only those
hot, piercing eyes, fixed on us with what
fierce envy and devouring yearning of our
own health and freedom was not difficult
to imagine. 1t gave me cold shudder,
just as when, lying by Texan campfire,
l had shuddered at the lambent eyes of
the coyotes that circled us in greedy and
cowardly ring. = New York News

Curious Wedding Card.

The following wedding announce
ment, which appeared in several proyin-
cial newspapers, would seem to indicate
a serious family scandal, as it was
published by request of Colonel A. P.
somerset, the father of the bride, who
is well known as owner of the Enfield
coach and master of the Enfield chase
stag hounds. Miss Somerset is the
only daughter of wealthy parents, while
her second cousin, to whom she was
married last week, is not largely en-
Cowed with worldly goods:
Con Monday, the 25th inst. Miss
Guendolin Adelide Somerset, the only
child of Colonel and Mrs. Somerset of
Enfield Court, was married to a Mr..
Arthur Somerset, at Goring Church,
Sussex. Mrs. Somerset was present at
the wedding and gave her daughter
away, but Colonel Somerset, the brides
father, did not attend. There is
reason to believe that Colonel
Somerset knew nothing of the
marriage until it had taken place
The only other persons present at the
wedding we're a Miss Richards and
Brown, the gasman from Goring Castle.
The above is. published by my request.
